Mills Ont 19 April Dear May Well the spring la really here at last and Acre are bulbs showing everywhere Although It really was quite a mild winter for us from further north at any rate I got quite a kick out being able ro rake up some old weeds on February Of course that was possible In a few places only and we had quite a lot of snow after that I have Just sot back from a walk down by the mill and round onto the road where I stopped en the bridge to watch the spring runoff rushing through the sluice The stems of the alders along the bank are that deep red with swelling buds and the young willow shoots are getting yellow I even heard some geese going over this morning and weve had crows around for some days now During winter we had quite a problem with Icicles firming at the back of the house Is the long way of the roof which gets most of the afternoon sun Because of the wide overhang the Ice builds up and Icicles almost a solid wall from the edge of the root to the ground Of course as I told you the house being built into the side of the hill they are only about feet long But It gave us an Imprisoned feeling In the Owls Nest even though It sparkled diamonds In The sun I went round the back one day recently to Investigate the damage The roof being new was fine But was rather shaken to notice the poor condlctlon of the mortar around the stones and quite horrified to find that one of the wooden window sills hod actually fallen off Quite rotten So guess thats where my savings will go this summer I must ask who to get to do the repainting Narrowly missed a rather nasty accident the other day There Is an old over the well and It looked an excellent place to hang the snow shovel I got a nail In hung the thing up and turned towards the door only to go through the floor up to my right knee Fortunately I didnt drop the feet on top of the pump and only suffered a bad bruise I have now attached a padlock so that my young and curious friends cant get in Guess something will have to be about that too The porch looks dreadful We brought so much stuff down from the cottage its Just jammed But I have looked in Eatons catalogue and see I can buy a nice little metal shed where I can at least store the garden chairs and tools Bill has promised to come and Install double screen and storm windows in place of the casement ones which ore there Its impossible to screen them satisfactorily and we had so many files last fall I plan to have the rollaway bed out there with plenty of cushions and the green table and chairs It should be a very nice place to sit On the village side I snail be able to look out at the comings and goings and watch the children racing around And on the other side lean look up to the maples and the splitrail fonce silhouetted against
